February 10, 2025MEETING CHANGES AND MORE!
Posted November 1, 2024
Brothers and Sisters,
I hope everyone is doing well. There are some changes for the monthly membership meetings for November and December.
Since the meeting in November falls on Veterans day which is a holiday. The meeting has been changed to Tuesday November 12 and will be held on the 3rd floor of the building since this is the same day the Glaziers Local have their meeting. You should have already received a postcard with this information.
The meeting in December has been changed to Saturday December 7, 2024 at 5pm. This meeting will be our annual Holiday Dinner, keep in mind the location has also changed this year. This year it will be held at 7900 Florin Rd Sacramento CA 95828. The doors will open up at 5pm and dinner will be served at about 6pm. I hope to see everyone there. There will be a postcard mailer coming later this month so keep an eye out for it.
It’s the beginning of the month, so don’t forget to put your name on the out of work list. Work has been steadily picking up lately. I am happy to say that we have been able to put most of the Drywall Finishers on the out of work list to work. Painters are steadily getting picked up as well. We have several companies coming in from other areas that are required to use Local 487 members on their projects. Unfortunately, I have had a hard time finding Journeyman Industrial Painters to place on these projects. We need more Industrial Painters from Local 487, if you are interested in becoming a Hybrid Commercial/Industrial Painter please contact the Union Hall. This will help keep you busy when the commercial projects are slow.
DON’T FORGET TO GO VOTE IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY!!!!!
